I'd like to add a 2-bike carrier to my CX-9's OEM roof rack. My last bike carrier was a Yakima brand carrier that was custom fitted for my Subaru Legacy station wagon. I love it. Looking for something that will mate well with the CX-9's roof rack rails and that can handle 2 mountain bikes.

I live in the Seattle area, and we get A LOT of rain here...like 300+ days worth per year. I need some new wiper blades for my CX-9 and am looking for some "best-of-breed" recommendations. Don't mind spending more (2x) for some really good and durable blades.

Map Light on Driver's Side Won't Turn Off The front seat driver's side dome light on my wife's 2007 CX-9 won't turn off. Yesterday, she was shopping w/ my daughter and one of her friends. They opened up the hatch, loaded up the car, and got inside. That's when my wife noticed that her front...

About 6 weeks ago, I bought a set of 20" Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires for my Mazda CX-9. I liked them so much that I decided to get a set of Yokohama ADVAN S4's for my Audi A4. However, I'm having some MAJOR problems with this second set and am wondering if you guys have any ideas about what...

Back in October, I ordered a set of 20" Yokohama tires for my CX-9. I got the hard-to-find 245/50R-20 Yokohama Parada Spec-X and I couldn't be happier with them. What a change from the stock tires that had 36K+ miles on them. Anyway, I liked the Yokohama Paradas so much that I decided to get...

My wife and I would like to start biking again with our kids. We have 3 kids, so we need a hitch-based bike rack for our CX-9 that can handle 5 bicycles. Is there such a thing? Right now, we have 3 adult-sized bike and two smaller bikes, but ideally the rack would be able to accomodate 5...

I just had to replace both batteries on the keyless remotes for my CX-9 because they were drained after only 2+ months. When I bought the car, I went straight to Radio Shack and picked up a couple of coin-size batteries which I tested before I installed. The dealer said that if the keyless...

Last week, I was all set to buy four new 20" Yokohama Parada Spec-X all-weather tires for my CX-9 Grand Touring. I logged on to the Discount Tire website (linky), and saw that there was a 2-3 day wait to get the tires. Great! Turns out that there's a 30 to 60 DAY wait. Discount Tires claim...

I recently bought a used 2007 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring. The car has 35.5K miles on it. We bought it from a Mazda dealer in Seattle. We're the 2nd owner and the previous owner was leasing the car. I don't know if the 30,000 maintenance was ever performed on the car, and the dealer in...

Is this a bug? I can turn off the engine on my 2007 CX-9 AWD while still in Drive! My wife mentioned to me that she and my daughter were shopping the other day. They parked in a parking lot and started to walk away from the car when my daughter said: "Mommy, the car is rolling forward!" My...

OK, so I've been putting my new (used) 2007 Grand Touring AWD CX-9 through its paces for the last month or so. I really like this car A LOT, but here's my short list of things that I *don't* like or that piss me off or that make my scratch my head. 1) Why is there no trip computer on this car...

About a month ago, I bought a used '07 Grand Touring CX-9 AWD with 20" rims. The car has 33K miles. My local car shop said that I should replace the tires before the winter, so I stopped by Costco today. They only carry a single tire that will work for me -- Michelin Latitude Tour HP 245/50r20...

I'm a new owner of a used 2007 GT CX-9. I love the car but both my wife and I feel that the car has big blind spots, especially along the left-hand (driver's) side of the car. If I push the rear view mirror to the right a little bit, I can see through the passenger-side windows reasonably...

I have a CX-9 that was built according to specs for the US market. As such, it does NOT have daytime running lights: when I switch the lights to "Auto" they only turn on at dusk. I see that cars intended for the Canadian market have daytime running lights which is a legal requirement in...

I'm looking for some recommendations for a 3-bike carrier for the Class II 1-1/4" hitch on my '07 CX-9. My wife and I are planning to use an existing Yakima 2-bike carrier on the roof rack, but we need something that holds 3 bikes for the kids (ages 13, 12, and 10).

The UPS man showed up today with 2 big boxes of OEM parts from MazdaPartsOnline.net. I got all-weather rubber floor mats, a cargo liner, roof rack rails, and some other minor parts. The rubber floor mats looks great. They fit well and best of all: they don't have that horrible rubbery smell...

I'm NOT planning to do this, but I'm curious whether there are any options for owners of CX-9's with Navigation and Bluetooth packages to upgrade to a higher-end system with superior graphics and integrated Bluetooth? I suppose it would have to have some kind of interface for the CD player and...

I just bought a used CX-9 GT equipped with Bluetooth. The owner's manual had some very basic information related to pairing my cell phone with the system, and I've done that part successfully. But I can't seem to find any documentation online that gives me the complete flowchart of voice...

Earlier today, my new (used) 2007 CX-9 got its inagural car wash: a top-to-bottom scrubbing at the local Brown Bear car wash. I paid for the el cheapo wash but somehow the kid running the wash gave my car the royal treatment, which included a wheel and rim scrubbing. Anway, when I pulled out...

Can someone tell me whether the shifter panel should be illuminated? Or does it light up (even faintly) when you turn your lights on? On the '07 CX-9 GT that I just bought, the panel DOES NOT illuminate and I find this a little disconcerting when driving the car and shifting into reverse at...
